It was announced as part of the new programming for the weekend and then came the silence … To this day, where we reveal to you who will be the drivers of Sunday’s ‘Desperta América’.
Although the announcement has not yet been made officially, we can confirm, unofficially, that ‘Wake Up America’ on Sunday would have its September 19 release date, It would last two hours and while it would keep the spirit of the week, it would be very different.
About the drive? Here’s the surprise, although at some point it was rumored that it would be Karla Martinez and Alan Tacher, the presenters of the Sunday version are Maria Antonieta Collins, Jackie Guerrido and Raúl González.
Yes, Jackie returns to ‘Wake America’, Show in which for many years she was in charge of giving the time report. More than 10 years later she returns but as a presenter and of this new format.
But as far as we could tell this space Jackie would have struggled with other colleagues who had also done casting hoping to be the chosen ones. Who? Maity Interiano, Karina Banda and Aylen De el Toro.
Remember that the boricua reappeared just a few days ago, after having given a positive COVID-19 alongside other colleagues such as Borja Veus, Elyangelica González and Carlos Calderón.
What would be the content? Although many imagined that it would have a newsy tint, And more if we think of Maria Antonieta Collins as one of the co-presenters, this would not be the way, as for them it is already ‘A el Punt’, with Jorge Ramos.
From what we were able to find out, unofficially, it would have the purest essence of the show: help, provide a service and entertain. Something that has a lot to do with the spirit of one of the three presenters: Raúl González and what he always defines as the ‘sions’ of his life,’ passion, profession and mission “…
Why did Univision decide to extend the show one more day at the risk of saturating the audience? this one it would have been an idea of the outgoing news president, Daniel Coronell, And resumed by the present president of the chain, Luis Silberwasser. The intention would be to leverage a successful trademark and proven success.
‘Wake Up America’ is one of Univision’s oldest shows and what has always been maintained number one in its schedule above its most direct competitors, as Telemundo, i even from some American chains.
Will it work?, Will the public want to wake up with the ‘happiest house on Hispanic television’ also on Sunday? Will reports, surprises, interviews, and community help conquer the most familiar day of the week? Only time will tell, and we will tell you.
